2011 Waterdog Spirits, LLC MORE DETAILS... 2011 Sponsor Program DU is Flocking to Black Lab Vodka
Waterdog Spirits, LLC (Black Lab Vodka) and Zeppa Studios, LLC have paired up to offer a special Fundraising Program for non-profit organizations, such as Ducks Unlimited.
How it works
DU Chapters who purchase bottles of Black Lab Vodka from a local or on-line retailer to serve and/or auction/raffle off at a fundraising event will receive from Waterdog Spirits & Zeppa Studios a donation package based on that purchase. (Items are pictured on the following page.)
1-2 Bottle Package - Set of 4 Waterdog Glasses (Martini or DOF) 1 Glass Cutting Board or Tile Box or Soap Dispenser 1 BLV Cap (new!)
3-5 Bottle Package - Set of 6 Waterdog Glasses (will mix 2/4 on request) 1 Hand Painted Plate 1 Cutting Board or Tile Box or Soap Dispenser 2 BLV Caps
6 Bottle Package - Set of 4 Waterdog Martini Glasses Set of 4 Waterdog DOF Glasses 1 Hand Painted Oval or Round Platter 2 from Cutting Board, Box, Soap selection 4 Caps
(NOTE: While we have structured the program to work on a per purchase basis, chapters reserve the right to utilize their purchase and corresponding package as they see fit...for instance you may purchase 6 bottles, receive the 6 bottle package and split the bottles and items between a couple events. Area managers who are centrally purchasing BLV for multiple chapter events must specify how many bottles they have allocated to each event.)
If you confirm your participation a month in advance, you may request which items and designs to use, otherwise, its our choice. Waterdog Spirits & Zeppa Studios also reserve the right to make product sub- stitutions, if necessary.
We ask that the Chapter send back a brief fund raising report that will help us design future programs. (and a few pictures if possible)
Local Ducks Unlimited Chapters in Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, Massachu- setts, Connecticut, Idaho and Alaska have benefited from this Program with great success.

With help from generous donors, such as Waterdog Spirits, we were able to increase our net-net profits by 15% this year. While other chapters around us are folding due to difficulty in fundrais- ing and canceling dinners due to low ticket sales, our chapter contin- ues to grow. We pride ourselves in providing a TOP NOTCH banquet by continuing to create innovative fund- raising ideas and to utilize today's best advertising methods. It seems that Waterdog Spirits is doing the same. Now our committee and 450 banquet guests know about your product and generosity.
Thank you again for providing us with an exceptional product through your genius marketing avenue. We look forward to enjoying your product for years to come.

PROGRAM OUTLINE (program as described is available for 40+ states/other options are being developed for states outside the current program parameters)
Zeppa Studios, LLC (a DU supporter in affiliation with Black Lab Vodka) has designed and developed the Duck Blind Wine Program for use by Ducks Unlimited Fundraisers. Not only are our selections, a 2009 Pinot Grigio (awarded 98 point s, Best of California , a double gold and gold medal win- ner) and Fusion Red (an except ional blend of Merlot 38%, Zinfandel 38%, Syrah 23%, Pet it e Sirah less t han 2%) in their distinctive Duck Blind bottles the perfect wine to serve at DU functions, but they also make great auction/silent auction/raffle items alone or in gift baskets. Who is not going to want to take some home?
Zeppa Studios has arranged with a California winery for private label Duck Blind Wine to be available to DU Chapter Events in almost every state. (contact us for limitations) For a single, all inclusive fee (wine, applicable taxes, packaging and shipping to a business address) of $203.88 per 12 bottle case (winery minimum shipment, mixed red & white ok, equals 16.99 per bottle), a Chapters desired quantity will be delivered for that event(s).
In addition, Chapters requesting 2-3 cases are eligible to receive from Zeppa Studios a hand painted terracotta wine cooler which (especially when paired with a bottle) makes another great auction/raffle item. (additional designs may be available-Lab in Marsh shown)
Chapters ordering 4-6 cases are eligible to receive a set of 6 hand decorated Waterdog crystal wine glasses. These 17.3 oz. glasses can serve either reds or whites. (Chapters ordering more than 6 cases for a single event...contact us for options.)
All a Chapter has to do is place their order by phone, fax, email or regular mail with us at least one month prior to their event . (To be safe/we wouldnt want you not to get the wine in time!) All orders should include the Chapter contact info, a business ship to ad- dress (adult signature is required), the name and date of the event, payment for the quantity ordered (check payable to Zeppa Studios or we do accept major credit cards) and any special instructions. We can provide order forms on request.
Chapters taking advantage of the Duck Blind Wine program are still welcome to participate in the Black Lab Vodka program even for the same event.
The Duck Blind Wine label is provided for use by DU fundraising and Duck Blind Wines are not available from any retail locations. Zeppa Studios P. O. Box 437 4183 Eggleston Road Pearisburg, VA 24134 800/347-3045 540/921-1835 540/921-1837 (FAX) www.zeppastudios.com
